- Control 12 utilizes this information to determine when to automatically transition the helicopter's main and tail rotor speeds back-and- forth between a high speed (e.g., approximately 107%) and a low speed (e.g., approximately 102%).
- the use of the ADCs 16 and radar altimeters 18 to obtain the desired parameters can be accomplished by any means known in the art.
- the varying of the main and tail rotor speeds can be accomplished by any method known in the art.
- control 12 transitions the main and tail rotors from a low speed (e.g., speed of 102%) to a high speed (e.g., speed of 107%) if any one of a plurality of inhibits 38 is detected.
- the inhibits 38 can include (1) only one engine is operative, (2) a height above ground level is below a predetermined height (e.g., 150 feet), (3) a pressure altitude is at or above a predetermined altitude (e.g., 3500 feet), (4) a density altitude is at or above a predetermined altitude (e.g., 4000 feet), (5) an outside air temperature is at or above a predetermined temperature (e.g., 40 degrees Celsius), (6) a knot indicated air speed is below a predetermined speed (e.g., 50 knots), and (7) a training mode is selected.

- (6) a knot indicated air speed is
- control 12 can, upon detection of inhibit 38, transition from the low speed to the high speed at a predetermined acceleration rate such as about 1% per second.
- control 12 can, in some embodiments, require the inhibit 38 to be present for a predetermined period of time (e.g., three seconds) before transitioning the main and tail rotors from the low speed to the high speed.
- a predetermined period of time e.g., three seconds
- control 12 can, in some embodiments, provide stability to the helicopter by preventing transition back to the low speed until inhibit 38 has returned to at least a second inhibit 40. For example, if control 12 determines that the density altitude is at or above the predetermined altitude (e.g., 4000 feet) such that the control transitions from the low speed to the high speed, then the control can also inhibit transition back to the low speed until the density altitude is below a second predetermined altitude (e.g., 3800 feet). In this manner, control 12 can provide an envelop of operation where transitioning between high-and-low speeds and be inhibited to ensure operational stability to the helicopter.
- the predetermined altitude e.g. 4000 feet
- control 12 transitions the main and tail rotors from a high speed (e.g., speed of 107%) to a low speed (e.g., speed of 102%) if one or more acceptance conditions 42 is detected.
- the acceptance conditions 42 can include (1) both engines being operative, (2) a height above ground level is at or above a predetermined height (e.g., 150 feet), (3) a pressure altitude is below a predetermined altitude (e.g., 3500 feet), (4) a density altitude is below a predetermined altitude (e.g., 4000 feet), (5) an outside air temperature is below a predetermined temperature (e.g., 40 degrees Celsius), (6) a knot indicated air speed is at or above a predetermined speed (e.g., 50 knots), (7) a non-training mode is selected, and any combinations thereof.
- a predetermined height e.g. 150 feet
- a pressure altitude is below a predetermined altitude (e.g., 3500 feet)
- a density altitude is below a predetermined altitude (e.g., 4000 feet)
- an outside air temperature is below a predetermined temperature (e.g., 40 degrees Celsius)

- FIG. 4 a Sikorsky S-76D helicopter having control 12 was analyzed.
- a low rotor speed and high rotor speed are illustrated with respect to an outside air temperature and the DA altitude inhibit.
- rotor speeds illustrate the envelope of operation between the DA altitude inhibit and the second predetermined altitude.
- a Sikorsky S-76D helicopter having control 12 was analyzed.
- a transition airspeed of 50 KIAS and a 150 ft AGL altitude inhibit were selected so as to not interfere with the Category A and B takeoff and landing profiles.
